When at the helm of your SUV, don’t you think it’s time to feel like an MVP? When you drive the Lexus TX, you will.

This SUV features a driver-focused design that makes sure you’re at total ease while in control. The way the 14-inch touchscreen display is inconspicuously angled toward your seat provides a clear view of driving data and entertainment features. While the XC90 offers an angled screen, its 9-inch size pales in comparison to the cinematic experience you’ll get with the TX.

The TX boasts an excellent driving experience with the addition of interior ambient lighting. A basic lighting package comes standard, or you can upgrade to include Thematic Ambient Illumination. When optionally equipped, this feature lets you choose one of 14 lighting themes to match your mood.

While the TX and the XC90 put an emphasis on your comfort, your passengers will be happy to hear the commitment to an exceptional journey extends to all three rows. Optional features you’ll find throughout the cabins of these SUVs include:

• Multi-zone climate control
• Heated rear seats
• Premium leather upholstery
• Panoramic glass roof

When examining these features, the TX and the XC90 offer a comparable commuting experience; however, that isn’t the case once you explore the dimensions of these models.

The Volvo only offers 37 inches of second-row and 31.9 inches of third-row legroom. The TX was specifically designed to offer third-row passengers the most comfortable experience, as evidenced by 39.5 and 33.5 inches of second- and third-row legroom.

It’s no surprise that listening to your favorite songs is the fastest way to enhance your commute. Thanks to standard smartphone integration in both models, this is made possible.

However, TX drivers will have more ways to connect—and without the need for cords—since wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ both come standard. The XC90 only offers Apple CarPlay® and requires a charging cord.

Additionally, you’ll experience a better audio experience inside the TX. When optionally equipped, this SUV comes with a 21-speaker Mark Levinson® PurePlay Surround Sound system. This will wrap you in an immersive sound experience you won’t find with the XC90, as it only offers 19 speakers.

You work hard enough as it is. It’s time to let your SUV make your trips to the office easier and more enjoyable. This is accomplished with features like available Remote Park. This lets you become a parking pro in seconds. Simply locate a spot and watch in awe as your TX steers, accelerates, and brakes into the parallel or perpendicular parking spot of your choice. No similar feature is found with the Volvo.

Another exclusive feature of the TX is the optional digital rearview mirror. This is helpful when your SUV is packed to the brim with luggage or home improvement supplies. A real-time feed behind your SUV will play on the rearview mirror, so you can always get an unobstructed view of the road behind your vehicle.

Who says luxury SUVs can’t provide your daily dose of thrills? With impressive engine offerings, the TX and the XC90 prove that opulence and excitement are synonymous.

In addition to offering more legroom, as previously mentioned, the TX offers more wiggle room all around as evidenced by these interior specs:
